Today's Homeowner looks at dozens of datapoints on pest control companies to come up with our data-driven rankings. It's not possible for a company to pay for preferential treatment in our rankings. We look at the following key factors in determining who should top our list:
Our team at Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control companies by analyzing costs, pest control treatments offered, state availability, contracts, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how we ranked them:
Terminix ranks as one of the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been assisting homeowners with staying pest-free for over 90 years. The company offers state-of-the-art pest control services that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix is most widely known for its specialty termite services, but they exterminate much more than that. Their other services include: mosquitoes, rodents, cockroaches, ticks, ants, spiders, and wildlife control such as squirrels, opossums, raccoons, skunks, and more. Terminix’s general pest regimen consists of a home inspection and preliminary treatment, with three additional treatments over the course of a year.
Orkin has been in the business for over 100 years. Its exterminators complete 160 hours of training. Additionally, because of its big network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin’s typical pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. After the first treatment, your Orkin expert will follow up to check that the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with branches across the globe and almost a century of experience in the industry. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control branches like J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control expert will focus on both eliminating current pests and preventing future infestations. Its treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Pest control providers vary in credibility, understanding, and capability. It's important to research businesses to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control company:
You should choose a pest control company that is equipped to handle your specific problem, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should clearly describe on their website its expertise with your specific pest.
When choosing a pest control company, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. These credentials show that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also ask about required training hours and continuing education.
Before booking an appointment, browse online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a reputation for providing effective service and positive customer experiences. Also check for complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you choose a provider from our list of the top pest control in Red Bank, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for companies that promote “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or other burrowing rodents. However, natural options may be less effective for serious infestations; if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control provides usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will return and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is taken care of. One-time treatments might not have reservice guarantees.
After choosing your top exterminators, contact each one with questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to hire a qualified provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
Red Bank is home to various pests, from insects to wildlife. To help you prepare for the most problematic pests, we reviewed various social media sites and put together a list of the ones mentioned the most.
The best pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, have locations all around the country, and have been in business for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every two or three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
Pest control involves getting rid of unwanted bugs like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or wildlife from your property. When you hire a pest control company, a professional exterminator will do an inspection. Then they will use various techniques to remove the pests and prevent them from coming back, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
In a town like Red Bank, where the cost of living is above average compared to other cities, the cost of pest control may be a concern. How much pest control costs varies depending on several factors, such as what type of pests are infesting your home and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, but a quarterly treatment plan is usually cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
We advise quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly in Red Bank, where pests can be more common because of the heat. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
